Deciding to end a marriage is never easy. It is an emotional rollercoaster that brings significant changes to your personal and financial life. For residents of Cape Coral, navigating the Florida legal system for Divorce or Dissolution of Marriage requires a clear head and professional guidance. At Philip Steinberg, P.A., we specialize in handling the legal burdens of Divorce so you can move forward with your life.
Uncontested Divorces: Doing it Right
Even when both parties agree on the split, an uncontested Divorce or Dissolution of Marriage still requires strict adherence to legal procedures. Many people try to handle these on their own to save money, only to find themselves with rejected filings or, worse, a final decree that does not actually protect them.
While we focus heavily on litigation, we recognize that an Uncontested Divorce is a necessary service for many of our Cape Coral clients. In these cases, our role is to ensure that the agreement is ironclad. We draft the necessary paperwork, ensure assets are listed correctly, and handle the court filings. We ensure that your uncontested status does not accidentally leave you liable for hidden debts or strip you of rights you did not know you had.
When Divorce Requires Litigation
However, many divorces start amicably and quickly turn contentious. Disagreements over Alimony (spousal support), Child Custody Disputes, division of property, and debt allocation can stall the process. This is where Philip Steinberg, P.A. truly shines.
We are a litigation firm. This means if your spouse refuses to be fair regarding alimony or hides assets, or if you are embroiled in Child Custody Disputes, we are prepared to take the matter to a judge. Alimony laws in Florida are complex and fact-specific, taking into account the duration of the marriage and the financial resources of both parties. Whether you are seeking support or being asked to pay it, having a litigator on your side ensures that the final court order is based on accurate financial facts, not bullying or manipulation.
Protecting Your Assets
Cape Coral is home to many homeowners and retirees with significant assets to protect. In a contested Divorce or Dissolution of Marriage, the equitable distribution of these assets can become a major battleground. We fight to ensure that your pre-marital assets remain yours and that marital assets are divided fairly.
A Friendly Tone, A Tough Stance
We know this is a difficult time for you. When you visit our office, you will find a friendly and empathetic team ready to listen. But make no mistake: when we represent you in the Lee County courts, we are unyielding in our defense of your interests. Whether your Divorce is uncontested or a high-conflict battle, Philip Steinberg, P.A. is the Cape Coral firm you can trust.
